NAME

config-edit - Edit data of configuration managed by Config::Model

SYNOPSIS

  config-edit [options] -model Fstab [ commands  ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Config-model is a general purpose configuration framework.

The config-edit program will use Config::Model configuration descriptions to provide a user interface so user can easily and securely modify the configuration of their system.

You can specify commands as arguments that will be run on the configuration root before launching the UI. These command follow the syntax defined in Config::Model::Loader.

Options

-model

  config-edit -model Fstab

-ui

• tk: provides a Tk graphical interface (If Config::Model::TkUI is installed).

• curses: provides a curses user interface (If Config::Model::CursesUI is installed).

• shell: provides a shell like interface. See Config::Model::TermUI for details.

• none: No UI provided. Only command line arguments are handled.
